JUMO digiLine hub
Bus distributor for digital sensors from JUMO
The JUMO digiLine hub is a hub intended for use with the JUMO digiLine bus. It serves as a node
for branching the bus line coming from the master device to individual sensors. For digital sen-
sors with higher current consumption and situations with longer lengths of the JUMO digiLine
bus, the JUMO digiLine hub can serve as a bus voltage supply close to the digital sensors. Digital
sensors as well as additional JUMO digiLine hubs can be connected to the outputs of a JUMO
digiLine hub to extend the JUMO digiLine bus. In addition to conventional bus line installations
in a line topology, JUMO digiLine hubs allow the following branched topologies as well:
• individual hub as star distributor for the branching the bus line to a maximum of 4 digital sen-
sors
• star-shaped topology with several hubs close to one another (short bus line connections be-
tween the hubs) to more than 4 digital sensors
• branch lines in a line topology
The JUMO digiLine hub has an integrated voltage controller that can be used to supply the bus
voltage of DC 5 V from the node point. Generation of the DC 5 V voltage supply close to the dig-
ital sensor minimizes the voltage drop in the bus lines. Feeding DC 24 V directly to the JUMO
digiLine hub is a prerequisite. This voltage can be provided by either the master device or power
supply unit available as an accessory. Distribution of the incoming voltage supply and activation
of the internal voltage controller are configured in the JUMO digiLine hub with the aid of a switch.
In this way, the bus voltage supply can be tailored to the requirements of the bus installation that
result from the line lengths and current consumption of the digital sensors.

Application examples
• Aeration tank in a sewage treatment plant: The JUMO digiLine hub is mounted in a cen-
tral location for the sensors and the bus line runs to the sensors in a star topology.
• CIP lines in a beverage plant: A bus line runs from each of several sensors on different
CIP lines to a central point. Here, they are connected to the outputs of the JUMO digiLine
hub. Only a single bus line runs from the master device to the JUMO digiLine hub and then
branches to the digital sensors. The installation expenses reduced considerably compared
to a conventional sensor installation. Moreover, compared to a conventional installation, the
JUMO digiLine bus technology permits longer cable runs with reliable transmission of the
measured values. This provides greater flexibility when selecting the mounting site for the
master device in terms of readability or incorporation into the facility's control system.
